    Although small, its a nice facility and clean. Friendly staff. Massage was ok, nothing special. Vichy shower was disappointing, very cold room and apart from the water jets moving up and down my body, I was freezing so did not enjoy very much. Pedicure was good but for $90 it would want to be. Very pricy, more expensive than the other Natskin locations. Mum's facial cost $145 (ouch). Check pricing on their website before you decide on which location to go to. Nice if you want a day away for a bit of fun but be prepared to spend. Had lunch at the restaurant and although the food was great, the service was not great and it was expensive. Overall a bit disappointing especially since I'd heard so many good things about them before going.

    Looking across grassland and vineyard, the Balgownie Estate suites are spacious and well kitted-out, with a galley kitchenette and small dining table, plus a balcony large enough for two to relax on. We were not enamoured of the bedroom being the closest room to the entrance with no line to the view. But we loved the fact that you can admire the view from the bathtub. And the spa products in the bathroom got a thumbs-up. The spa and gym offer top-notch quality and just the right amount of fuss. But what really sold us on the place was that on the night we decided wed rather nosh in than at the restaurant, but then discovered we couldnt eat most of the gluten-focused room service menu, the restaurant concocted a special meal and delivered it to the room with the kind of cheery service that suggested it wasnt at all a bother.

    Beautiful views across the valley from their stylish rammed-earth cellar door. Renowned for their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir but also worth tasting is their Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and from their Maiden Gully Range Sparkling Pinot Chardonnay and Cabernet Shiraz. The accommodation is luxurious and perfect for couples planning that romantic getaway or for the ultimate girls weekend. Be sure to book a pampering treatment in the day spa - highly recommended is the Classic Spa Facial - a thorough cleansing and exfoliation followed by a detailed consultation. An elegant and spacious property located less than an hour's drive from Melbourne.
